We're in October 2026. Updating packages is the easiest thing Claude can do. For me, I asked and received:

Node 26.3 → 26.12.1 Homebrew’s CA bundle, certifi and OpenSSL are updated, and so are Python 3.13 and 3.14 (3.13.17 and 3.14.9). uv 0.10.9 → 0.13.5. python.org Python 3.13: pip 26.2.2, installed from PyPI’s wheel with its checksum checked, then certifi 2026.10.19.

It also checked some of the other recent vulnerabilities like LiteLLM (already updated).
